CHAPTER FOUR

OGER’'S idea went over beautifully. Evelyn was delighted to think her Jacqueline was engaged | to be married! “I do think, darling, it's too romantic!” she said, ec-

statically. Jackie denied that there was anything romantic about it. “We simply decided to get engaged,” she said. “So now, Mother, you can go ahead | marry Mr. Scott.” Ry Evelyn said, but rather off-handedly. She wanted to know when Roger was coming to the house. “There are a great many things to discuss,” she added thoughtfully. Jackie experienced that same strange foreboding once again. She did not see what there was 10 discuss. If she and Roger were engaged that was all there was to it, | | AK R PRECISE OY “Roser | R ‘ fk APPEAR-WELL GET HIM?” Roger was surprised that next | morning when Jackie came 10 see —p i. him take off. “Gosh,” he said, [ jd taking both her hands in his, ‘to | a think you'd get up almost at sunup | oe 33 just to wish me happy-landings! Xo That was pretty swell of you, Jackie.” : : “Tt wasn’t my idea,” Jackie said shortly. She pulled her hands away. Why, Roger was acting as though they were engaged! “Mother insisted I ought to see you off. Not “that I don’t wish you ‘happy landings, Roger,” she added. She did wish he hadn't been leaving on such a dangerous undertaking. She would be pretty jittery until he got back. «Thanks,” Roger returned rather shortly, too. “Mighty nice of you ; y . to be so concerned.” He turned to . 24) the mechanic “Make Sone. will f FE NY A ou, Jerry?

Almost as though she | were the one who was going to do | those test dives. | “Oh, sure, I'll be careful,” Roger | 1 said carelessly. That empty gnawing in Jackie's | ’ stomach persisted.

In a few | minutes he would be only a small | dark object high up in the sky, get- | ting smaller and smaller, vanishing | completely. She raised her hand in a salute, too, a gesture of farewell | and god-speed. She wished he had chosen different words to say in parting; ‘no matter what happens” | had an ominous sound. She watched that small dark object as long as her eyes could fol- | low it, then turned away. She felt very much alone and forlorn. She told herself, angrily, that she was behaving like a little fool. Roger was a good pilot. They didn't come any better. He would come back safely—stand by—as he had promised.

EVERTHELESS, Jackie searched the evening papers to see if there were any accounts of crack-ups. She heaved a sigh of relief, then a sharp exclamation, as her attention focused on an entirely different item. There, heading the society column, was her own name!

her eyes lighted up, too. She stretched out a hand. “Why, how very nice! ‘The announcement is made,’ ” she read aloud, “‘of the engagement of Miss Jacqueline Dunn, daughter of the romantic actress, Evelyn La Farge, to Mr. Roger Breckner.’ ...I wasn’t at all sure they could get it in so soon,” she added with something like triumph. “Do you mean that you put that in the papers?” If Jackie's pretty face had been flushed before, now it was crimson, > “Why, of course, darling.” “But I didn’t say you could.
